Moustaches

The Handlebar : Elegant, refined, and somewhat sinister. Also known as a spaghetti moustache.

The Pencil : Before John Waters made it quirky, the pencil was mannerly. ‘Did I forget to shave?

This style can only be pulled off by the most sophisticated of Mo wearersTime to get it: Under a monthWorn by: Orlando Bloom, Clark Gable

The Chevron / The Selleck: Many will try, few will succeed. The Selleck is the ultimate authoritative 'stache.

The Revolutionary: The ageless, iconic, almost godfather-like radical whose visage has become the most well-known symbol of rebellion all over the world. Guevara's famous mustache is an option for guys with said split and soft, thin, fine hair and can be clipped with a scissors to give it texture. Grow it too long, however, and you'll be Mr. Fu Man Chu. Consider yourself warned.Time to get: One monthWorn by: Che Guevara (Rebel/Revolutionary)
